Trapped (Unfinished)

8- POV Mitch

The group around me all claps when I finish reciting my song. Even though it doesn't exactly represent how I feel about Scott, that's where I got my inspiration.

I look up at Kirstie who gives me two thumbs up. Writing the song definitely helped me get my mind off of Scott.

I look over at him and he's smiling, which makes me incredibly happy.

"I loved it! I definitely think we should record this one," Avi says and we look around the group. Everyone nods of approval and they all look at me. "Did you have anyone in mind to solo?"

I nod and bite my lip slightly, glancing at Kirstie. "Scotty-boy, would you do the honors of soloing this?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't I? I am the best singer after all!" He winks at me and feel butterflies in my stomach. Everyone laughs.

"Scotty-boy it is then!"

Kevin starts a beat. Avi joins in and soon enough, we already have a chorus that satisfies us. We spend three hours just working on 'Can't Sleep Love' before reading over a couple of other songs that Kevin and Avi wrote.

I'm so happy that everyone's excited for my song and likes it. I'm
really glad that I didn't make the song too obvious considering the attention the band seems to be giving it.

After working on songs for 8 hours, I looked down at my phone, reading 1:00 AM.

"I'm done guys, this is tiring," I say. The group nods and stands up stretching out.

All of a sudden, we hear a loud grumbling noise and look around to see Scott grinning.

"How about we go get some food!" He laughs. We laugh and nod, agreeing to go to a Culvers nearby. Avi texts Esther to come along, since she's been hanging with us a lot, and we wait at the lobby for her.

As we head over to Culvers, I walk with Kirstie, talking about this new clothing line that just came out. Scott's right behind me with Kevin, comparing Beyonce (the cello) and Beyonce (the person). Esther and Avi walk behind them talking about something with their family.

When we get to Culvers, after ordering, we all squeeze into a booth. Scott and Kevin sit across from each other and Avi sits next to Kevin. Scott looks expectedly at me to sit next to him, but I pretend I don't notice.

I don't think I could sit up against him in such close quarters and not be able to wrap my arm around him or kiss him.

Instead, I sit next to Avi at the opposite side of the table from him. Kirstie sits across from Avi, and Esther across from me.

"I loved that song you wrote Avi, I'm obsessed!" Kirstie says while we wait for our food.

"Thanks!"

"Yeah, and I liked Mitch's too!" Scott turns to me. "Where did you get that idea?"

Seriously? The one question he had to ask?

"Umm... I guess it just sort of came to me..." I say, trying to sound natural, even with those perfect, ocean eyes staring into me.

"I wouldn't have been able to come up with that!" He replies.

"Well I guess Mitch is just more creative than you!" Says Kirstie.

"Drag ha sis!" I shout. "How will she recover?"

Scott laughs and looks away without a comeback. He runs his hand through his hair, making me swoon over how chill he is. His muscular arm sits on the table and I feel my heart stop as he looks at me.

Shit, I've been staring.

I look away and see Kirstie laughing and wink at me. I make a face at her and look over to see Kevin laughing as well.

Next to me, I catch Avi staring across the table at Kirstie for a split second before becoming aware and sheepishly looking away.

I smirk. I guess I'm not the only one crushing tonight.
